Ayahuasca may offer short-term improvements in anxiety and depression symptoms, with participants reporting enhanced introspection and well-being, though side effects like nausea and vomiting occur. A systematic review of clinical trials and systematic reviews published between 2015 and 2025 found that the methodological quality of studies varied, with limitations including small sample sizes and lack of adequate control groups. The review also considered the historical use of Ayahuasca in Amazonian traditions. Further research with rigorous methods and larger samples is needed to confirm efficacy and safety, while respecting ethical and cultural aspects.
